  • 4-inch display / 800 x 480 pixels
  • 4GB internal storage capacity (microSD support up to 32GB)
  • 1650mAh battery
  • 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3mm

For its class, the Desire X sports quite impressive imaging capabilities such as a 5-megapixel rear autofocus camera, 28mm F2.0 lens, BSI sensor, HTC ImageSense, a dedicated imaging chip and Smart Flash. The suite of features are almost similar to the One series, which were unveiled at MWC 2012.
